Bogotá, Quito, La Paz, CDMX: cómo adaptar tu rutina coreana a la altura
Living at altitude changes the skincare rules. Cities like Bogotá, Quito, La Paz, Cusco or Mexico Citycombine two things skin notices:drier air and more UV radiation than at sea level, even when it feels cool. What communities in those cities usually recommend:
Hydration in layers, Korean style
-
A hydrating toner or essence on still-damp skin.
-
A barrier moisturiser (ceramides, squalane or similar).
-
On very dry nights, a thin layer of balm on flaky patches.
Sun protection even when it's cold
-
The chill is deceptive: sunscreen every day, cloudy days included.
-
If you spend long hours outside or go higher, reapplyand protectlips and ears.
Worth avoiding
-
Harsh cleansers that leave skin tight.
-
Over-exfoliating when skin is already dry.
If flaking, redness or discomfort doesn't settle, see a dermatologist.
